Why Does Carpet shed?

I was in a customers home the other day, and they were confused as to why I dont push ounce weight or one particular facet of the carpet. The reason is there are many factors that make a carpet perform the way it does and face weight is only one of the many. They went on to tell me that they didnt want a polyester because polyesters shed and other fibers do not. This had been told to them by other carpet stores. The fact of the matter is this statement is entirely false In fact a Staple product may last longer than a BCF.

There are other reasons to choose and not to choose a polyester but that is for another time. All carpets shed somewhat. The carpets that shed more than others are called Spun or Staple carpets the one you are looking for is BCF (Bulk Continuous Filliment) It is a manufacturering term. Staple yarns are smaller cut fibers that are then spun into yarn BCF carpets are longer strands that are then spun into yarn.

So Why is Staple or Spun yarn sold? 3 main reasons; it gives carpet a softer/fuller feel, the color is more consistant, and staple yarns can hold more dirt. Wool carpet is a common spun product it naturally has a soft durable feel, Manufacturers will take a nylon fiber and make a heavy staple product much more affordable. Years ago the carpet mills could not get a thick carpet in a BCF with a consistant color so most thick carpets would be Staple/spun yarns. Because the staple or spun yarns are made up of shorter fibers they have more scales to hold more dirt so if you do not vacuum your carpets regularly or if your concerns are more dirt related instead of spill related a staple carpet may be better for your needs.

The reason people believe that all Polyesters are staple and all staple are polyester carpets is the carpet mills run the staple carpet on different machinery than they make the BCF carpet on. To cover the cost of having this machinery they would run cheap apartment carpet normally made from Polyester to make up for the lack in production of High end Staple nylon carpets that are not as indemand as everyday BCF Products.

Unfortunately the only way to stop the shedding and pilling ( a term used to describe the pill shaped carpet fibers that form from shedding) is 3-6 months of vacuuming. The good news is after 18 years in this business I have never had a customers carpet shed away on them.

I hope this information is helpful.
